My Personal Review for A Present in Swaddling Clothes by Andrew Grey

I love Andrew Grey's stories and he creates a story that will steal your heart and make you believe in the holiday spirit.

Josh has been protecting his little sister, Nicky, since they were children. Now Nicky needs Josh the most when his sister ends up suffering a medical issue and now his newborn niece Vivian, needs a home. Josh would love to take her home with home but his partner, Sammy, isn’t fond of children. Can Vivian work her magic on this holiday and give them the best present in the world-a forever home for Vivian with Josh and Sammy?

Andrew Grey always comes up with such beautiful stories that when I saw his latest Christmas short story, I was charmed from the book blurb alone. A Present in Swaddling Clothes is a sweet, emotional story that is packed with drama, love and holiday spirit. Mr. Grey delves into a couple who have been together for over fifteen years and set in their relationship. When Josh’s sister has a meltdown and he saves Vivian from death, things change rapidly for Josh and Sammy. I love this author’s writing style and this short story is no exception. You got lots of drama, emotions running wild and underneath it all, you have love-for family & for your partner. The two can tear a couple apart but in this latest holiday offering from Mr. Grey, we see two people who know each other so well and know the art of compromise. They are a strong couple and it comes through within the first few pages of the story. I have to say, for being a short story, Mr. Grey does a masterful job in creating strong characters that are multi-dimensional and relatable. Mr. Grey delivers an emotional story that will leave you smiling in the end and rooting for Josh, Sammy and Vivian to be a family.

If you want a feel good story that will leave you feeling a little lighter this holiday season, then grab his latest novella and be prepared to fall in love with these two people. I am really hoping the author comes back to Josh and Sammy later on as I would be thrilled to see how they are doing with baby Vivian. Well done, Mr. Grey, in creating a story that is sure to become a timeless classic in years to come to be read during the holiday season.

My Rating for A Present in Swaddling Clothes is: 3.5 Stars
